EXTERIOR OF THE PRISON.

tive rest in Jail, while in another the horrors
of prison life are such as to make the popular
ear burn when they are told In England all
the authorities are now agreed that solitary
confinement tends to insanity; so that form
of punishment is now limited there to few
days in each year. In the United States the
power to confine criminals In that way is
very strictly guarded, and but few states
permit it for any long time In Michigan
the law consigns murderers to solitary cells,so
solitary that the visitor who walks in the
outer corridor feels chill when he realizes
that men like himself are hopelessly immured
behind those thick walls and iron doors The re-
suit, as sh, wn by the prison statistics, is that
the condemned murderer rarely lives ten
years. A sentence in Michigan is only better
than the death penalty in that it gives longer
time for reflection and repentance, and far
worse in that it is really sentence to death,
with the added horrors of slow torture.
In Belgium, after long trial and consider
alton of both methods, they have decided in
favor of solitary confinement for prisoners of
all terms up to ten years. In 1869 M. Borden,
chief of prisons, began the work Of remodel
ing all the penitentiaries las Americans call
them, and now there are thirty such in the

vived the latter operation thus far in medical
practice.
The great Importance of Frederick VIII
liam's illness is shown by the fact that his
aged father cannot long be expected to sur
vive Prince William, eldest son of our
subject and his natural successor, holds the
confidence of the German people in remark
able degree. He is favorite pupil of Moltke
and favornbly disposed to the Bismarchs.
AS an officer has been n hard worker, and is
held in great esteem by the army. Should he
by the death of his father succeed the veneer
able emperor, the peaceful policy of the aged
monarch and his son, the crown prince, will
no. doubt be forsaken. War with France
would be almost sure to follow.
The earnest character and eminent talents
Of Frederick William were developed under
excellent masters, among others Ernest Cur
tins, who accompanied him to the University
Of Bonn, where the prince was matriculated
in the law faculty. After the completion Of
his education the prince visited several for
sign countries, among others England,
where he married the princess royal,
eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, on
Jan. 25, 1883, with the royal appreciation

Since his father assembled the throne the
crown prince has taken part in the most i'm

Danish campaign in subordinate capacity,
put with such ability that the king irtrusted
him to an important task in the war with
Austria in 1866, viz, the command Of the left
Prussian wing, operating in and from Silesia.
In the Franco Prussian war, 1S70-71, the
crown prince acted very conspicuous part
as commander of the troops of Bavaria, Wur-
temberg and Baden. He was present at
Sedan, August, 1870, and was made field
marshal two months after by his father Dur
